Stalking Carp

Send us Fan MailEpisode 289 - Stalking CarpI'm just back from Italy, the weather in Devon is bright and warm and I had been thinking of going to my local river but with it being so warm I thought I'd try something a little different.I decided to see if I could target carp with a fly in clear water.My plan was to spot a fish, cover it and if I was lucky, even catch it.I took the mic with me and talked as the day unfolded.It turned out to be a day of a lot of hard yards and a heap of walking. I checked and I walked 9 miles searching out either a cruising or tailing fish.With sun on my back and walking in shallow, clear water it was easy to draw parallels with wading a bonefish flat. It was equally as exciting!
